  3. This article was right where I am, so... on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Jump Back Into Programming? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This article is right where I am, so I figured I'd chime in.
    I was in a motorcycle accident about 5 years ago, and knew 5-6 coding languages previous to it. After (because of head injuries from being laid down by a truck sideways), my memory was completely gone for 6 months or so, but came back. Now, my memory is there mostly for long term, but short term is the largest of issues.

    It sounds like this guy has the same problems as I do, and I'm going to assume a slight bit of forced ADHD because of that. Anyway, what I find is if I give myself tiny projects to bite into so my mind doesn't wander then everything works out. The key is always for me to take small bites, and once my brain's wheels hit the road (so to speak), everything is good. Personally I think it's because of the short term memory deficit not allowing the instant memories to feed the desire to learn as much. Once you force them into place by anchoring long term memories, it becomes part of you.

    Calling it 97% lean ground beef is obviously favorable to you, especially compared to "dead skinny cow."

    not sure if you're making a joke, or if you just don't know. I'll bite.
    Different sections of the cow are used for differing fat percentages.
    Chuck: 78-84% lean
    Round: 85-89% lean
    Sirloin: 90-95% lean

    In the last decade or so, processes to remove fat from the meat have been created to reach different levels with different styles of beef.

    Funny, 97% lean ground beef tastes good.

  10. Re: Vegetarians on Meat the Food of the Future · · Score: 1

    I really don't think we'll ever worry too much about not meeting our fat requirements...

    Protein in cow milk is 30–35 grams of protein per liter. That's about 8 grams of protein per 8 oz cup.

    Using myself as an example, the below calculation has me at 91 grams/daily. That's 3 liters of milk.

    How to Calculate Your Protein Needs:

    1. Weight in pounds divided by 2.2 = weight in kg
    2. Weight in kg x 0.8-1.8 gm/kg = protein gm.
    Use a lower number if you are in good health and are sedentary (i.e., 0.8). Use a higher number (between 1 and 1.8) if you are under stress, are pregnant, are recovering from an illness, or if you are involved in consistent and intense weight or endurance training.

    Example: 154 lb male who is a regular exerciser and lifts weights
    154 lbs/2.2 = 70kg
    70kg x 1.5 = 105 gm protein/day

    That need doesn't go away sans meat, it just gets filled in a different way.
    Agreed, and it's not terribly hard to emulate the taste/texture/protein potency of a hamburger with soy and other plant structures.
    To do it right, it's expensive today since it's a very niche market. Honestly, I could care less as long as I'm able to get an avacado burger. Be it a plant-based burger or not, as long as the taste/texture/nutritional values are within tolerances.

    Humans need far more than energy to survive.

    Uh .. err... hrm.
    No, no they don't.
    Everything is energy, it's just transference of it in different methods.
    The energy in food is transferred through metabolic methods into muscles, and other tissues in your body. It's basic science...
    Your movements transfer that energy into other methods of transfer. (e.g. heat, chemical recomposition, cellular construction, etc)
    Your thoughts transfer that energy into other methods through electrical impulses, hormonal creation/dispersion, etc.
    Literally everything you do is energy.

    There's nothing wrong with tofu at all, in fact it's a great addition to many dishes. It adds texture, and tastes good. It's also high in soy protein.

    Anyway, on with what I was going to say...most bison are fed by the grass in the fields. They graze.

    As much as I enjoy curry with meat and without, I have to say that hunger is not indicative of needing more food.
